Chapter 82

               Part – 82

In the evening…

Geet goes to Annie’s room with the saadi, so that Annie would help her drape it…

She comes back disappointed.. Annie has gone to the doctor…

Maan looks at her worried face…

Maan wants to know what’s wrong….

Geet keeps looking at the saadi in confusion…

Maan understands that she has to get ready…

Maan goes down so that she can get ready…

Maan keeps waiting and there is no sign of Geet…

Maan goes up and knocks…

Geet comes to open the door… she has the saadi all around her legs and stumbles on Maan as Maan enters..

Maan holds her back at the right time…

Geet is almost in tears that she is not able to drape a simple saadi even with the help of YouTube…

Maan is amazed looking at her trying to pull the pallu to cover herself while it’s not coming…

She is feeling embarrassed…

She has got this beautiful opportunity to go out with Maan as his wife and she is not even able to get ready on time… rather she is not going to drape this saadi even if she tries the whole day…

Geet can’t wear something else for this is Maan’s choice… she wants to impress him wearing this saadi that he got her… his first gift?

When it’s time to save her love she is trying to impress Maan with her looks?

What’s wrong with this girl?

It’s not her fault… she has fallen in love for the first time and that too very very late…

Geet is going through a lot of new feelings which she herself has trouble to understand, and Maan’s indifference is only scaring the hell out of her…

Geet is disappointed with herself, she is so useless…

She is frustrated with herself.. she doesn’t know to recognize true love, she didn’t understand Maan’s feelings all these days, she didn’t even understand her own feelings, how could she?, for she is such a big fool who couldn’t even drape a saadi properly…

Maan has to help her or he would have to endure this punishment longer… this girl has not left any stone unturned when it comes to troubling Maan…

After all that she has done to make him a fool of himself, what else does she want?

Maan gets the mobile from her hands first… how could one drape a saree one handed with the mobile on the other hand?

Maan holds the mobile for her while he is looking the other way… Geet looks at it and tries again… nothing is working..

That lady is draping for another woman… wrong video.. she should have seen one where a girl drapes on herself…

Maan is staring at her with a fake anger so as to save himself from further embarassment…

Geet doesn’t want to keep Maan waiting for she knows that it’s no use trying something that she couldn’t do…

Geet: mujhse nahi hoga, aap jao, mein nahi aa sakti aaise

Maan Geet ko chodke nahi jaa sakta… Sarla has called him twice to remind him to bring Geet without fail….

Maan looks at the video and helps her… poor Maan is fighting his urges while trying to help his beautiful wife dress up while all he wants is the opposite…

Geet is kindled by his soft touches as he is very careful about touching her…

Maan finally emerges the winner in his battle with himself…

Maan: chalein?

Geet has a fair idea about Maan’s feelings looking at his eyes… but they are emitting fire whenever she tries to make an eye contact more than a few seconds…

Something is terribly wrong.. It’s not fair for both of them… Geet can’t see him like this.. now she knows why he keeps running away from her…

At the reception party…

Sarla is happy to see Geet… Geet stays with sarla most of the time…

Maan keeps watching her…

After dinner, the dance floor is ready…

The DJ asks every couple to join the party… slowly everyone starts dancing… sarla pulls Geet and Maan too into the dance floor.. even aunty and uncle are dancing together…

Geet waits for Maan to take her hands… Maan hesitates… but he is so smitten by her beauty that he could no longer hold on to his angry mask…

Geet wants him to own her as his wife in front of everyone…

She doesn’t want to embarrass him this time like always… she wants him to feel proud of his wife…

Geet takes his hand herself… she takes his other hand and puts it behind her back and helps him start… then there is no stopping Maan… it’s just a ballet and they are just grooving to the romantic music… both of them are lost in each other’s company… it’s nothing Ike that intense dancing at Amritsar, but the intensity of their feelings has grown leaps and bounds in these days…it’s reached its peak… it’s unlikely that they can ignore it any further… both of them are well aware of their condition….

They let their silence speak about each other’s feelings.. they are completely out of the denial mode…

Maan knows that he has failed to hide his feelings from Geet…

He acts as if he was just doing that for the sake of it, just to avoid any speculation by the others…

Maan is driving fast to reach home….

Just then Geet remembers Annie asking her to pick up something on the way….

Geet tries to say something…

Maan stares to warn her not to open her mouth…

But Geet has to talk to him…

Geet: Annie didi asked us to get cake from this famous bakery, it’s all organic

Geet turns on the map on her mobile and keeps it before Maan…

Maan is happy that it’s nothing about them…

Maan takes a u-turn and follows the address…

Just then Dev calls…

Geet cuts the call… he calls again… again she cuts the call… but he keeps calling…

Geet’s face turns pale… she doesn’t know what to do…

Geet tries to take the mobile from the holder….

Maan stops her… he is ready to claim his love… but he wants to know if Geet is really ready for his love…

Maan takes the next call…

Maan puts the call on speaker…

Dev: Geet, Geeeet

Geet is scared… she doesn’t respond…

Maan is not looking at her but still she knows that his full attention is on her only…

Dev: Geet, are you there?

Maan turns and looks at her, he signals her to answer…

Geet: hmmm

Dev: Geet, pack your things and come immediately

Maan is dejected to hear it… all the while she was planning to leave?

If not for this call she would have left without saying anyone….

Geet: what?

Look at her trying to hide the truth from Maan as always…

Dev: I got placed, 1500k per anum, can you believe it? now you can do whatever you want

Geet panics…

She sits there in fear of losing everything in front of her…

She just keeps looking at Maan for his reaction… but there is no reaction on his face… he is so used to this that he has stopped reacting…

Dev: Geet, finally we did it, I’m so happy

Geet couldn’t open her mouth…

Dev: Geet, what’s wrong? Aren’t you excited?

Geet: hmmm

Dev: mujhe congratulate bhi nahi karogi?

Geet: congrats

Dev: ok, I’ll call you at our time, you must be busy

Dev thinks she must be with the others…

There is silence again, but this time it’s scary… not for Maan but for Geet….
